Airline Pilot Central Forums

On the topic of bidding - why is it that you can only bid avoid one person per layer? How can you actually bid avoid two or more people and be confident you won't fly with them? I tried to avoid two people in all seven layers thinking it would ensure a month without them, is there a better way to do that?

Actually, you can. Ignore the message, they had to put it in there because once upon a time we had very small domiciles like SBP where certain senior FA's would bid avoid most of the pilots in the base, rendering it very difficult to construct a line. When PBS was unable to build them a line to their preferences and respecting their bid avoids, it would fail and PN their entire month. The PBS powers that be got sick of listening to those FA's complain, so they added the error message. I have repeatedly asked and been told by the help line that you can still bid avoid multiple people.

Just don't avoid most of your base.

Thanks Electra. I don't want to be a tool, just a couple people out there I'd rather not fly with again and I'd like to put them both in all 7 layers.

Hello SkyWesters. Question, if I were to chose the E-jet, I hear the most junior base would be ORD. Can anyone confirm that? If so, what's the current reserve time there?

I also heard RJ pilots fly more, is that because there are too many E-Jet drivers?

Thanks for the help!
